COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Yale Announces Fund-Raisin Drive
By JEROME WEINSTEIN
NEW HAVEN - President A.
Whitney Griswold of Yale Univer-
sity announced last week that for
the first time in 34 years, Yale
would launch a major capital
funds campaign to strengthen its
financial structure.
The campaign, described as
"Yale's Program for the Arts and
Sciences," will seek the equivalent
of some $69,500,000 of new capital
for Yale College and the Gradu-
ate School. Of the total $47,000,-
000 is to be raised or pledged by
June 30, 1962, and the balance, in
the form of a million dollar in-
crease in the annual gift to Yale
from its Alumni Fund, by June
30, 1963.
COLUMBUS-Ohio State Uni-
versity's Faculty Council recently
approved a proposal to eliminate
compulsory ROTC at the Univer-
sity beginning next fall. The pro-
posal must next be submitted to
the Ohio State Board of Trustees
for the final decision on the mat-
ter.
Under the proposed program,
students would choose from addi-
tional selected courses in the Uni-
versity's basic education program
in place of the present two years
of basic ROTC requirements.
BERKELEY-The "Daily Calif-
ornian" recently printed a letter
to Dave Armour, student body
president at the University of
California, from Prof. Leo Koch,
formerly of the biology depart-
ment at Illinois, who was dimissed
from that school because of a let-
ter to the university paper advo-
cating pre-marital sexual rela-
tions. Prof. Koch, a graduate of
the University of California, sent
the letter after a resolution was
passed on the Berkeley campus
protesting Koch's dismissal. The
letter read as follows:
"I consider myself duly honored
by my Alma Mater for having
been the recipient of your excel-
lent resolution, dated 4 May.
YD's Support
City Pickets
The Young Democrats Tuesday
adopted resolutions endorsing the
local picketing of the Cousins
Shop and Ann Arbor branches of
F. W. Woolworth, S. S. Kresge,
and S. H. Kress companies, Chair-
man Mary Ryan, 62Ed, reported.
The Ann Arbor Human Rela-
tions Commission has charged the
Cousins Shop with "discriminatory
treatment" of a Negro customer,
and the dime stores national of-
fices have stated that their local
stores in the South will continue
to discriminate aslong as local
customs remain as they are.
The YD's called picketing of the
local dime-stores "an effective
means of supporting efforts to
eliminate such discrimination."
The group also elected officers
for the next year. Miss Ryan was
reelected chairman, Paul Heil, 63,
was chosen vice-chairman, Ruth
Brady, '61A&D, was named secre-
tary and Judy Black, '63N, was
elected treasurer.
Daniel Gold, '63, Brian Glick,
'62, Jerold Lax, '63, Mary Wheeler,
'61, and Bruce Vanderporten, '63,
were appointed representatives to
the state Democratic Central
Committee.
